Vetoryl Capsules (Trilostane) 10mg, Treatment for Cushing's Disease in Dogs

Vetoryl is a prescription medication prescribed to aid in your dog's treatment of hyperadrenocorticism, also known as Cushing's Disease. This medication treats both pituitary-dependent and adrenal-dependent cases, and controls the excess production of cortisol caused by the disease. Do not give this medication to pregnant dogs, or dogs with kidney or liver disease. All dogs should undergo a thorough history and physical examination before initiation of therapy with VETORYL Capsules. Other conditions, such as primary hepatic and/or renal disease should be considered when the patient is exhibiting signs of illness in addition to signs of hyperadrenocorticism.

• VETORYL Capsules contain an adrenosuppressant drug that is used to treat hyperadrenocorticism in dogs. VETORYL Capsules are a prescription drug for dogs.
• Hyperadrenocorticism (also known as Cushing’s disease) is a condition in which excess levels of the hormone cortisol are produced. Cortisol is normally released from the adrenal gland into the bloodstream at times of stress. In dogs with hyperadrenocorticism, the level of cortisol produced is excessive and, if left untreated, becomes incapacitating.
